The atmosphere of the concert helped students relax from life's worries. The stage was decorated with a sheet that had lights reflecting off of it.
"Dub" Pierce played acoustic and shared stories that went along with the songs.
After being saved at the age of nine, he found that he was able to express Christ through his music. Pierce's music are love songs to God. "Exodus 15" is a song that praises God and echoes in heart of many. The song "Release" was written by his wife Amanda. The main setting of the song was a person who pleads with God to be able to release their heart, mind, and all to Him.
The last two songs were played on the piano which was in the center of the stage.
"Pierce was new and uprising," said SBU graduate Michael Gilley. "His songs sounded similar to other bands, but he was very good and has a lot of potential."
"He has a great voice with a good mellow tune and the lyrics were very genuine," said junior Andrea Capel.
To transition from "Dub" Pierce's concert to Monk and Neagle's, Kurt Caddy, director of University Missions came and spoke a few minutes on missions.
He explained why SBU supports missions. He also brought to attention that one out of three people have never once heard the name of Jesus Christ.
"Worship is the fuel that ignites missions," said Caddy.
As students were finishing up the prayer with Caddy, Monk and Neagle appeared on stage.
Neagle referred to an Indonesia mission trip with a church and led worship. He agreed that worship and missions go hand in hand.
"Dancing with the Angels" is a Monk and Neagle song that is heard on radio stations. Neagle enlightened everyone by sharing that the song relates to his dad dying at the age of forty-seven from cancer.
